24th/25th June 2026

It was very warm today the 24th, reaching 38°C . It is now 00.28 of the 25th and 28°C outside, and some 31°C indoors at chest height. Just beginning to cool down but still wearing those garments I was clothed in at birth, though they have seen their days. @ 02:13 it is 30.5°C indoors. Will wait another hour before I lay myself down to try and sleep.

I noticed the last few days even breathing was a bit stressful and drinking water wasn't easy. So this location isn't idea, where is?

Cold is easier to deal with as it is easy to warm up, but the vegetation that I rely on so much grows in the warmth, so here I am beside the veggies, well not actually lying next to them, just in my wooden box nearby.

Managed to sleep for 4 to 5 hours. On rising at 8:17 temp. is 28°C . Temp outdoors @ 15:40 is 35°C.

26th June 2026

Managed to sleep for 7 to 8 hours. On rising at 8:37 temp. is 25°C downstairs.

Some notable events:
April 2015 There has been very little rain this month and not that much this year.
April 15th: Hottest day, 26°C, since last summer.
April 16th: For the first time the ash are leafing at the same time as the sycamore. Ash is usually a few weeks later at least (last to leaf, first to shed). It seems all the trees are leafing at the same time, which is extremely odd (ash, oak, hawthorn, sycamore). So it seems they are primarily sensitive to temperature not day length.

Changed the name from Overalls to Coveralls.

OK they are way to big, and called Portwest who said to contact the vendors:

My overalls are a bit ragged and the poppets duff, so they are not protective against bugs, small debris from vegetation and chainsaw dust etc. Being fed up with trying to find Fairtrade organic cotton ones, with zips. I bought these from

Sadly one is two are 65% polyester and I think one has teflon coating. (page 3)

Good to have zip to keep out the dust and insects. Mind you the side slots could do with zips?

Redhawk overall £26.50


The style is fine but the colour is a bright orange, brighter than the image advertised.

100% cotton overall £48


Again the colour is off, this is much richer and brighter, and the reflective strips are grey, not so white as in the image. The zips tracks are plastic.
